“You can say a match made in heaven. People say it all the time to me. You don’t have to treat me like I’m made of glass.”

“What this proves,” Marie said finally, “is that you can feel all those things again. That’s good news. The bad news is, it’s so tough to experience a high like that and then come back to the everyday world. And so soon after it was over between Joe and you.”

“Do we have any aspirin?” Sicily asked. “My head is going to split up the back like a gourd.”

“You’re not supposed to take aspirin if you might have flu.”

“Do we have any heroin, then?” Trailing her comforter, Sicily padded into the bathroom and returned with a bottle of Tylenol. “Auntie! I’ve missed everything! Why didn’t you tell me what I was missing?”

“How many times did I ask you to go with me to California? Paris, London, Sydney? Dallas?”

From the habit of years, Sicily had placed the tablets on the back of her tongue and tilted her head back before sipping water through a straw to swallow them. Then she quickly turned to Marie and said reprovingly, “Dallas? Who wants to go to Dallas?”

“All I meant was, the first time Beth asked you—”

“Was also the first time anyone asked me to do anything after the face transplant.” Sicily lay back down. “Dallas! Marie, you know I didn’t mean restaurants and historical sites. You know I didn’t mean I’d missed out on the hot spots of Dallas. Or even El Paso.”

“I hoped you meant that. I gave it a good try.” Marie smiled. “I know you weren’t referring to sightseeing.”

“I mean I didn’t know. I didn’t know what love was. Why didn’t you tell me?”
